Sundaes And Cones

I’m usually not a fan of sweets but you can small their waffle cones the moment you open the door.
Crap, now I’m hooked. Get their lychee and banana ice cream.

Cute artisan ice cream place you can’t miss because it’s always packed. Luckily there’s usually several workers to work through the line.
Got a scoop of lemon sherbert and it was yummy and creamy. UNFORTUNATELY the service I received here definitely ruined the experience for me. There was a long-​haired Asian girl with glasses that was rude throughout our exchange.
When telling her which flavor I wanted, she didn’t smile at me once. Instead she just stared me down with a serious case of RBF which made me very uncomfortable. When paying her, she snatched the money from my hand again without a word. Later when I needed an extra spoon and asked her for one, She visibly sighed and handed me a spoon without even looking at me.
Maybe she had a bad experience day, but giving a customer a bad experience too. I honestly almost forgot the ice cream flavor I got but remembered her clearly. I’m not coming back and sure as hell none of my friends will be either.

Excellent ice cream and waffle cones, loved the peanut butter chocolate and cookie dough! Will definitely come back!

We all scream for Ice Cream!
Amidst all the fancy desserts in New York, nothing can be as exhilarating, sweet, and simple as ice cream. And, it never fails to disappoint!
I actually came here on a whim with a few girl friends on a cloudy Sunday, and it was still very packed! I love the inside venue, itself-​with white tiled walls and everyone in white aprons… it definitely feels like an old-​school ice cream mom and pop ice cream shop! The shop is a little more on the small side, however, with limited seating.
And now the flavors! Where to begin??? Every single one of them was amazing! I got the green tea and strawberry flavors on a cone, but I was extremely satisfied with all the other amazing flavors! With my friends’ choices, I was able to also try lavender, watermelon sorbet, and thai tea. Each one was not too sweet and exactly how I imagined the flavors to be, especially the lavender! My green tea was amazing and tasted just like the Japanese matcha green tea, and my strawberry had so many fresh strawberry chunks in it (more than Haagan Daaz)! Cannot wait to come back and try more of their flavors! I am so happy I finally got to stop by, after so many times passing it by on my route to school.

LOVE this place. Such unique flavors, like corn, lavender, Thai tea… and they let you sample as many flavors as you want! (It makes all the difference — Chinatown ice cream factory I’m looking at you.)
The black sesame here is AMAZING. Super strong flavor (just like most of the others at sundaes and cones), and I love the grittiness. It’s almost salty, which I actually really enjoyed. Other favorites are Thai tea, chocolate peanut butter, and taro. My friend loves the lavender, but I founded it a bit too flowery tasting for me.
The texture of the ice cream is creamier than most others I’ve tried, but not so creamy that it’s overly melty. Also their scoops are super generous so the price tag is worth it. Another plus is that the store is quite spacious for an east village ice cream store, so it’s pretty easy to snag a seat. Overall highly recommend!

An otherwise wonderful experience was ruined by a server with a scary case of RBF (resting b*!@#h face)
How can you not be happy in an ice cream store?

In college I used to live just a block or two away from Sundaes and Cones, so it’s safe to say we have a bit of history together. It was the first place I tried both Thai tea and black sesame ice cream (don’t judge me), and I have plenty of fond memories associated with the place, especially with the Thai tea.
Fast forward a few years and a few hundred cones, and I returned to see if 1) it’s how I remembered it, and 2) it still compares to the Thai tea flavors I’ve had in the time since I last was there.
1) Yes, it is definitely how I remember it. Soft, perhaps a tad too much but soft enough to not waste time in devouring it. The Thai tea flavor itself is relatively mild, but consistent and not cloyingly sweet. Sugar cones are still fresh and there’s an abundance of interesting and worthy flavors to at least sample if not buy a scoop of.
2) I’m giving Sundaes and Cones nostalgia points, but after eating it this time I can’t say it’s as good as some other renditions I’ve had around the country. That, combined with the not very generous scoops and $ 4 a pop tag, makes me less outwardly eager to go out of my way to return soon.
Don’t get me wrong, this place is an institution in the East Village, and I’ll always bring people by when we’re in the area, but now that I’m more ice cream-​woke in the city, I’ll leave Sundaes and Cones for trips down nostalgia lane.

So prior to coming to New York City, I’ve had this artisan ice cream place bookmarked for quite some time because I immediately noticed and became attracted to all the unique Asian flavors that this place served (Green Tea, Red Bean, Black Sesame). Like omg, I already knew that I had to come here to check it out and I was extremely excited when my friends agreed to stop by here during our NYC trip a while back :)
We came to Sundaes and Cones when it was really late after dinner and luckily, it wasn’t too crazy packed inside. Though right after we arrived, there was a bunch of people that came in and it was really busy afterwards! It’s located in East 10^th Street in the East Village District in Manhattan (close to NYU) so we saw a lot of millennials and sorority girls inside haha.
It’s pretty cute, spacious, and clean inside and I’m assuming that this place is managed my Asians LOL. Sadly when I went, there wasn’t any of the flavors that I mentioned earlier (it was all sold out sigh). But luckily, there was still some pretty unique flavors left over to choose from. I decided to go all out and I ended up with two scoops of taro and lychee in a cone. So delicious! It wasn’t overwhemingly sweet too. The artisan flavors tasted really fresh and delightful and of course, it was really pretty/​photogenic as well. Wish I came in earlier to take a prettier picture in the daytime but that’s okay. I was just glad to actually come to one of my ice cream places that I’ve bookmarked on Unilocal and actually went! My friends were happy with their choices as well and in all, it was a good way to end the night with some yummy ice cream! :) Definitely will come back when I plan my next NYC trip haha. Thank you! :D

Delicious ice cream! I love their expansive list of flavors. Thus far, I’ve tried their Taro (my favorite), Corn (delicious), green tea, black sesame and lavender. All of these were absolutely delicious. Cute shop. Nice staff. Can’t wait to go back and try their other flavors.

Lots of exotic flavors to choose from like Thai tea, black sesame, corn and more… we got the black sesame and it really really had a strong black sesame taste, delicious and one of the best I ever had, also tried the pistachio almond, It was really good too, they give u 2 really big scoops of ice cream, this place is comparable to the Chinatown factory ice cream

not gonna lie. we were walking by this ice cream shop n noticed a line of ppl standing outside the front doors n that immediately caught my attention. (yep, I’m that lemming who follows all the other lemmings into the ocean to an early demise.) it was an artisan ice cream shop n those r my favorites so y not?
Sundaes n Cones is located on East 10^th Street in the East Village district in Manhattan. it’s located close to Ippudo n next to a Subway so u can always put your name on the long waiting list at Ippudo, then walk to Sundaes n Cones for a treat before dinner.
as u enter the spacious n clean space, the smell of fresh waffles hits u n u just know u must get a waffle cone. they also just made some fresh cookies which were laying out, but I was more into their many flavors of ice cream. they had so many I wanted to try, but their Red Velvet flavor caught my eye n I had to get that for sure. it was so smooth n creamy, n there were many chunks of Red Velvet cake mixed in also which made it really pretty to look at.
the only odd thing I noticed were the prices. they were all very odd numbers. I have no idea how they calculated up those prices. my single scoop in a waffle cone was $ 5.01. where did they get the 1 cent from? just an observation. :)

Came here after we had dinner at the restaurant nearby. We just randomly saw this place & walked in. The people behind the counter was very nice & helpful explaining to us about the flavors.
I decided to get the basic flavor that you can get anywhere. Chocolate & banana in a sugar cone– I enjoyed it. It was fruity & flavorful & those 2 flavors that goes together is everything. My friend got the sesame & lavender– this is so yummy! You can really smell & taste the sesame. It has this grainy texture & I liked it. The lavender taste decent but nothings really special about it.
I wanna go back to try more of their flavors!

Helloooooo DELICIOUS!!! This place was everything and a bottle of Hennessy! I came here with my fiancé and they had a line already. Once I see a line, I know it’s good.
They have a wide selection of cakes and Ice Cream flavors. I decided to try the Corn flavor and Hazlenut. I ended up getting Hazlenut and I’m so glad I did! Delicious and smooth. Nutella like. Just AHHHHHMAZING! My fiancé had the Pistachio Almond with toasted coconut as a topping and she loved it. I definitely will be back for a Corn cone and lots more flavors to try. The waffle cones are made fresh and there is seating and sitting for people to have a seat and enjoy their frozen treats. I can’t wait to come back.
Fully satisfied and happy I found a go to ice cream shop.

I rode past this place on the bus one night and knew I had to visit since the weather has finally warmed up enough for us to have ice cream outside!
We stopped by on a Saturday after lunch and were warmly welcomed by one of the employees behind the counter. She was happy to let us try out a variety of flavors before making up our mind, and didn’t make us feel rushed to come to a decision quickly. They have such a great variety of flavors, including lavender, sesame, lychee, and wasabi!
We ended up going with a scoop of the green tea and a scoop of the thai tea because my friend was adamant that those were the only two flavors that went together in the entire display case… Either way, those were both great choices and are perfect for those who have a lighter palate and want something a little less sweet.
They also offer a bunch of super adorable ice cream cakes, which are reasonably priced for carefully decorated cakes! I’ll definitely be bringing friends back around to try the other flavores they have! :)

I’ve wanted to try this ice cream place for quite some time. I’ve heard they have good yet different flavors, different from the common and normal ones.
I was overwhelmed when I stepped in and saw the flavors on the left side, already thinking hard about what I should get. But my friend said, there’s more on the other side! Great… Even harder to make my decision.
I sampled the lavender flavor because my friend said she loves it, and after I tried it I fell in love with it and already knew that’s one flavor I’m getting. Then I sampled the Pistachio Almond flavor. I love pistachio and almond both separately but together I just didn’t really like it (personal opinion). So I ended up getting a waffle cone with a scoop of lavender ice cream and a scoop of lychee ice cream. As normal or common as lychee ice cream sounds, it was better than what I’ve had at other places.
There’s one a limited amount of seats in there. After we ordered, two people left so we were able to sit down at a table. More and more people came rushing in, I guess it’s the go to dessert place after dinner (totally understand). But the people who ordered just stood around because there weren’t enough seats and it was too cold outside to sit on the bench while eating ice cream. So it for a bit overcrowded and loud inside. Felt a lot of eyes staring us down for the seats and table. But that didn’t stop me from enjoying my treat slowly while chatting away with my friend.
On a side note, my friend got a scoop of lavender and a scoop of corn flavor ice cream. She let me try her corn flavor, eh… How do I put it? Just not my cup of ice cream? But I will definitely come back and try other flavors out. They seem interesting (don’t know if that’s a good thing, I’ll see next time)

This place has cool flavors in nice, pastel colors that are very photogenic. Some standout/​interesting flavors would be taro, corn, lavender, Thai tea, green tea, and lychee. I’m sure you can’t go wrong wit any of the flavors!

Have been here multiple times with gal pals before. They were very generous giving out free samples as many as you want (though you feel kinda forced to make a purchase after trying).
They have many delicious Asian flavors that are less common in the States, such as Wasabi, sesame, Thai tea, corn, and of course, green tea, as it is becoming more and more popular.
My favorite so far is the corn flavor. Very creamy and flavorful yet light and not overly sweet. Wasabi is good, too. Very interesting taste, but definitely not that «spicy» as real wasabi that makes you cry sometimes.
Flavor wise, they have the best selections and they change the flavors from time to time. So sometimes you may not run into wasabi, for example. Just give this place a try and you’ll become a regular, I assure you.

I was really in the mood for Chinatown Ice Cream Factory but didn’t feel like going downtown since I was in the East Village (a lot of other reviewers have expressed a similar sentiment). The first time I went here I had three flavors: The lavender, taro and lychee. The taro was the best of the three, but I was largely underwhelmed by each. I felt they needed a little more cream and a lot more flavor; they all tasted like vanilla with a hint of something else.
I decided to try Sundaes and Cones one more time, though, and the second time was much more positive. I had the corn ice cream and ginger. The corn was the best by far, and a flavor I’d never tried before. The ginger was good, too, though perhaps a little sugary.
I’m going to give Sundaes and Cones one more go. The flavors I’m looking to try include the thai ice tea, green tea and avocado.

Lots of flavors. Pretty big space. The servings are incredibly generous.
The depth of flavors aren’t screaming at you but it’s not bad by any means.
It’s like Chinatown ice cream factory, only not as good. But still edible.

Love love love this ice cream joint! Even when it’s below 32 degrees out, I’m always down to grab ice cream from here.
I’m not a fan of super sweet ice cream with every possible piece of sprinkles dunked on top. I like unique flavors that actually taste like what it states. Here, they definitely deliver. I had their taro and thai tea ice cream and both were totally worth screaming for ice cream! I also tried their black sesame and it wasn’t bad either. I just wasn’t in the mood for it. I guess I must try that on another visit!
Forget the other ice cream joints around the corner and go straight here! Plenty of space to chill and it’s chic and clean.

On a bien affaire à des ice-​creams à l’américaine, bien plus crémeuses que les gelatos plus légères. On peut clairement s’en faire un repas car c’est quand même bien lourd, mais certains de leurs parfums sont vraiment extraordinaires.
Comme indiqué dans de multiples avis, vous y trouverez pas mal de parfums à influence asiatique. Sésame noir, thé vert, taro, parmi tant d’autres. Je pourrais manger celle au sesame noir tout les jours tant je l’affectionne, mais ce n’est pas pour tous les palais et ça peut être assez écoeurant donc pensez à goûter avant. Celle au thé macha est très chouette aussi, j’aime bien celle au taro, et je n’ai à vrai dire pas vraiment goûté les parfums classiques mais il n’y a pas de raisons qu’ils né soient pas bon non plus !
Les tarifs sont très raisonnables compte-​tenu de la qualité et de la quantité. Compter $ 5 pour une cup moyenne.
Un incontournable !

Bien qu’un peu trop crémeuses, ces glaces sont assez dingues. D’une parce qu’il y a à peu près un demi million de goûts différents, de deux parce que c’est très clairement orienté asiat (forcément, ça me parle), et de trois parce que les quantités sont indécentes.
L’endroit est immense pour un glacier et le choix pléthorique. C’est presque compliqué de choisir. Les vendeurs, tous asiatiques sont super efficaces. Taro/​sésame noir pour moi: mon repas du soir, en gros. C’est très très crémeux, pas trop sucré et plutôt pas trop artificiel. J’ai du mal à finir mais c’est parfait pour une ballade nocturne dans l’East Village.
